Personal Statement: In a moment that has seen the unsettling of the very idea of the noble dream of fact-based objectivity, the discipline of history serves as a bulwark supporting critical thinking, informed citizenship, rigorous self-critique, and the struggle for inclusion and equity. At the same time, we confront structural challenges in the decline in support for the humanities in general and public history in particular, shrinking enrollments in college and university history programs, and ongoing conflicts over curriculum, standards, and teaching at K–12 levels. The OAH has long served as a critical advocate for the importance of history—as a practice and profession, a diverse collection of institutional locations, and a forum for collective public engagement. As someone who has served the organization in several capacities over the last twenty years, I would be honored to join the long line of OAH officers and staff who have worked diligently to nurture the organization, diversify its ranks, expand its reach, and engage its members and publics.

Personal Statement: At a time when public discourse in America has become increasingly divisive and driven by sound bites, the research, teaching, and advocacy work of the OAH has never been more important. We need to continue to demonstrate why and how history matters across a broad array of public venues. At the same time, we must expand the important work of pathbreaking research, innovative teaching, and the mentoring of diverse undergraduate and graduate students. These goals have shaped both my research and teaching as well as the work I have done in community-engaged scholarship and in the digital humanities. I have been honored to serve the OAH in the past and am deeply humbled to be nominated to serve as President-Elect. I look forward to working with the other officers and staff to strengthen the OAH and serve its members while broadening its reach and impact. OAH VICE PRESIDENT* ANTHEA M.

Personal Statement: It is an incomparable and humbling honor to receive the nomination for the vice presidency of the Organization of American Historians at this critical time of national reckoning. As we bear witness to the collision of viral, racial, political, and economic crises, good history, necessary history—and the work of the diverse and thoughtful OAH members—is needed more than ever. As a public historian, my hope for all of us leading up to and during the year of my service as your president in 2023 will be to work toward reconciliation of that which divides us unnecessarily as scholars and practitioners in the dreams of helping the nation do the same. My career-long belief in the power of social and socially conscious history holds dear the need to share broadly the tools that we historians are so fortunate to have. I am so grateful for this opportunity. (*indicates appointed office) OAH EXECUTIVE BOARD – PAIR 1 CATHERINE ALLGOR, President, Massachusetts Historical Society.
